ROSES 
We have a very nice lot of Oregon grown Roses to offer this Spring — no 
southern stock. With the exception of the cheaper priced Climbing Roses, Rosa 
rugosa Hansa and Sir Thomas Lipton, and the Rose species offered, all of the plants 
are budded on Multiflora Japonica. 
Source of Roses Important—The Middle West, with its hot dry summers, is a 
hard climate in which to flower Roses and the source of planting stock has been 
found to be almost as important an item in successful Rose growing here as is the 
selection of varieties. For a number of years we have been using these Oregon 
grown Roses and have found that they have given better results than those we have 
had from any other source. They are sturdy, well rooted and well matured plants, 
without any coarse overgrowth. They are somewhat more expensive than southern 
grown Roses, but are well worth the difference in price. We do not offer any south¬ 
ern grown Roses. 
Many of the varieties of Hybrid Tea Roses are not adapted to the hot dry sum¬ 
mers of this section of the country, and in offering this selection we have attempted 
to confine ourselves to varieties of merit particularly selected for vigorous growth 
and free blooming characteristics under the usual weather conditions in the Middle 
West.
